Ague Cure
Is a purely vegetable bitter ami power
ful touic, and is warranteil a peeiy and
certain cure ior Fever and Ague, Chills
and Fever, Intermittent or Cblll Fe
ver, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, ami all
malarial disorders. In miasmatic dis
tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst,
lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the back
and loins, and coldness of the spine and
extremities, are only premonitions of
severer symptoms, which terminate in the
ague paroxygm, succeeded by high lever
and profuse perspiration.
It is a startling fact, that quinine, arse
nic and other poisonous minerals, form the
lasis of most of the "Fever and Ague
Preparations," " Specifics," ' Syrups, and
"Tonics," in the market. The prepara
tions made from these mineral jxrisons,
although they are palatable, and may
break the chill, do not cure, but leave the
malarial and their own drug poison in
the system, producing quinism, dizziness,
ringing in the ears, headache, vertigo, and
other disorders more formidable than the
disease they -were intended to cure.
Avee's Aocb Ci-rk thoroughly eradicates
these noxious poisons from the system,
and always cures the severest cases. It
contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing
that could injure tho most delicate pa
tient; and its crowning excellence, abo-e
its certaintv to cure, is that it leaves the
system as free from disease as before tho
attack.
For Liver Complaints, Ayer's Aorr.
Cuke, by direct, action on the liver and
biliary apparatus, drives out the jxrisons

Deacon. Blidetback and Deacon

On one occasion on the floor of tbe
House, Joshua It. Giddings uf Ohio
was assailed in the bitterest fashion by
a member of tbe friends of slavery, and
charged with stealing negroes and
sending tin in away from the Distriot of
Columbia, then, of course, within tbe
slave dominion. After abiisu otVhi
sort bad been heaped upon him for
some days, he st last rose to a eronal
explanation and i demanded the floor.
At onoe from the Southern ruernlers
there cams cries of "Don't hear him !
don't hear him ! V'u ohj -ct ! we ob
ject I" A scene of almost riotous con
fusion followed, and in tl nnist of it
Hchenck, broad-shoulder"', square
headed and power I u I, rose in bis seat
snd osmmanded silence by tbe intensity
of his'manner and the vehemnce with
which he said
"1 have uo personal iuteil iu Ihe
matter, Mr. Speaker, nor knowledge
of the matters alleged ; but when the
honorable gentleman, rny oolhague,who
has been so violently and gravely assail
ed, desires to make a eraonsl ex plana
tion, he should be eriuiti4d to do so.
a ft a
under such cu en instance, sir, no
gentleman would object."
Again, however, there came from
diflerent parts' of the dkaSsbei ri-sof
' I object ! I object " and rgiu
Schenck, with renewed emphasis said
"I repeat, Mr. SiM-aker that under
the circumstances no gentleman would
object."
As a result of Mr. H..-hen?k'a toursgc
nl pertinacity Mr. Cliddinga was al
lowed to make his explanatt n. When
the scene was over there was mu.-h dis
cusaion as to who Schenck referred to
when he said that no gentleman would
object, and Jacob Thompson ol Missis
sippi, who was afterward Scietary of
the Interior, communicated to him the
impreasiou, which was bbSMMbJ in the
House, that he meant Slid It of Louis
iana "That is a mistake' nplild Mi.
Sbeuck ; "1 did not even know that
he was in tbe House."
"Ars you willing to make that ex
planation public r asked Tbomou.
"Certainly," was the reply ; "I will
do so witb pleasure." The next day on
the floor Mr. Slidell, in accordance
nh the aiiaiigeiuent, roe and ak-d
I the gentleman from Ohio refeired.lo
iuui wlitu he fclJ ttist UJ cent le in an
would object tw Mr.
' tafia
lion.
"No, certainly not, air," tepiied
S enck ; "I did notevun know that the
t(tiillmu from Iouisiaua was ia the
tiouae."
Still Hltdcll questioned him, saiug :
If tbe gentleman from Ohio knew
that tbe member from lxiuisiana was
iu the House would be have iude
that remark t '
"That," rWied'Scheiick, "is a hvtio
thetical question, and 1 will not tie
queationed in that fashion."
8till tbe Southien member went ou
to interrogate him, and at laat, eu'irely
out of all alienoe, Hchenck took the
floor, against tbe almost violent efl jrts
which his friend, Governor Vance of
Ohio, insde to restrain him. and said :
"It is evident that what the member
from LouUiana den ires to know is to
whom I referred when I said yesterday
that no gentleman would object t the
explanation of my colleague. Lest
there be any further doubt up m thin
aubject, I will say here and new that I
meant and leferred to the drunken
member from Alabama, Felix G. M
Connell."
As may well bo imsgmud, this dec
laration created the wildest excitement
in the House. McConnell, one of the
most violent of the Democrat and pro
slaver men then in Washington, rushed
a a a a a
down i lie aiie snaking his mt at
Scbeuck, and for a moment it was be
lieved tbst a perform 1 encounter could
not be avoided. With great difficulty
order was at last restored, an the or
diuury business of the Houaa for a
time resumed. Just before adjourn
ment, uowever, Uarret Uivis camp
over where Mr. .Schenck wss guietiv
seated, aud said :
"llavuyOu a pihtol, Schenck 1"
"No," lepiied the latter, "1 never
carried oue iu my life."
"Well, you had better car t one to-
s ta r .j ma
nay, aiu Uavia, '-lor AleUinuell is
inj he will shoot you uti sight."
"Still, I haven't got a piatflJ, sud
tlou't know where to get one," replied
Schenck.
"Take mine, take mine," suid Davis
f.s ...a a. s a
uuietiv. at tite same time hanuine hii
riund a pistol. For some days afmr
this Mr. Schenck went armed. Three
days later he met McOont ell as he
was walking down tbe eastern steps of
the Capitol. The Aluhatmau was
standing quietly on the portico, but
made uo demonstration as Hchenck
passed him, and so the all'tjr cided.
A Fiehchmau has leased at large
tract of waste country in the south of
Algeria, and proposes turning it into a

What do New Hampshire people
think of the following statement made
by Gen. Neal Dow, while on a lectur
ing tour in the west. At Chicago he
made the unwarrantable statement
that "absolute prohibition now exists
in New Hampshire and Vermont as
well as in Maine." The fact is that in
any of tlm large towns and in ul tny of
the smaller ones in Me., New HaBB
shire and V ermont, it is as eisy to
obtain liquor as it is in Massachusetts,
where it is sold openly and regulated
by a license law. The United States
District Attorney in Portland Bill tell
you that theie ate in that state 694
persons who have taken out licenses as
retailers of intoxicating liquors, and
92 who have licenses tosdl as whole
salers. And yet men go tramping
over the land and across- the sea, tell-
ing people mat no uquor is sold in
Maine. Do you suppose that 786 per
sons in Maine have taken Uucl Sam's
licenses for the fun of it 1

The late Cardinal Wiseman said,
-Give me the children of Kngland,
and in twenty years Kngland shall
be Catholic." I say, '-Give us the
children of England, and in twenty
years Kngland shall not only be tem
perate, but" and tbe words seem lo
open a vista of progress and prosper
ity such as we can hardly conceive
" England s"ail not only be tem
perate, but shall be a nation of total
abstainers." Well, now I aide you,
Is it really an injury to induce chil
dren to take the pledge, or i it an in
jury, with heartless prejudice and
callous obstinacy, to leave them ex
posed without defence to all tbe ter
rible temptations and enormous evils
of drink ? It seems to me that if we
'an succeed in saving them from
that, we may laugh to K-crn the ri
diculous notion that we do them
any harm by inducing them to give
up that which they do not need,
which tbey naturally do not like, and
which eaa be nothing to thens but a
source of peril and ruin.
Almoet every book oa takes up
contains some damning evidence of
the awful consequence of drink, and
only yesterd ly I was reading a book
by the authoress of --John Halifax,
(Joatlemau," in which she describe
her visits to the Kast Indon Hospi
tal for children, and be tells how
the nurse ..-aid that numbers of chil
dren from the district, full of drink
" B
ar.d ignorance, are brought there with
cancer, nin-uiea-e, and disease of the
bone-, witb rickets and all kinds of
constitutional corruption, so weakly
from the constitution which they
hive inherited from vicious parents
that although they could only be m
saved by surgery tbey are too weak
to undergo an operation, and her re
mark upon it is this: "For such
children and in such places death it
self eeems to be a better thing then
life." Even more than that, we fir d
poor little, hapless children, whom
God meant to live and he happy, dy
ing in' this Christian England, in this
year, by something which bears a
grotesque and horrible resemblance
to unconscious suicide. At the very
beginning of this year, amidst the
very sound of the blessed Christian
bell, amidst tho rejoitings with
which' the new year was introduced
by Christian people, one little child
of three in Glasgow gets up in the
night, takes the whisky -vhich its
mother has been drinking, drinks,
and is found lying dead in its bed in
the morning; and that England may
not be behind Scotland, another lit
tle child of four at Huddersfleld rees
that its mother has bought some
syiilta to welcome friends, gets up
in the7 same way, drinks the spirits,
and is found dead in the morning.
Now, let us ask whether there can
be anything worse than all this ne
glect ahd accident and ciuelty and
disease and death ? Yes ; there is
something worse than all this-there is
tin. Diseass and accident and cruel
ty and death may maim ami torture
the body ; murder and suicide may
end the life, but sin blasts and cor
rupts the soul, and many and many
a drunkard's child in Kngland is be
ing trained up deliberately in the
habits of sin Cation Farrar.

One of the most foolish ettatotns in
the world is standing treat for drinks; j
other things are not ttotight in this
way. Boys, if you want to be gen
erous and treat each other, why not
select some other place besides the
liquor ihop ? Suppose, as yott go by
the post office, you remarks: I say l
my dear leuow, come in and take
some stamps ?" These stamps will
cost you no in ire than drinks all
round. Or go to the hab:i dasher's
and say: "Boys, come in and take a
box of collars." Walk up to a groc
er's free and generous, aod say :
What kind of coffee will you have?'
Why not treat to groceries by the
pound as well as liquors by tbe glass?
Or take your comrades lo a cutler's
and say: I'll stand a good pocket
knife all round."
Suppose a man should keep a den
of rattlesnakes, and allow men to
come iu and be bitten for ten cents a
bite, would it be a sensiblo thing for
a man to invite all hh friends in to
be bitten at his expense ? Is it
worth while to turn our frieuds into
brutes, maniacs, murderers, and their
homes into hells of trouble and dis
tress, by giving them "something to
drink at my expense ?" The Union.
Wg cannot see how the evil of the
rum shops and drunkenness is to be
checked, except by the streng arm of
prohibition. All Christians should
come forward, and In this conflict
take side, either for temperance or
intemperance jthere is no kuf-wa
ground. Monitor Jounnal
